Winds of Celestial (Heron Series #1)

"Adam!" tawag ko na naman sa pangalan niya.

He's just sitting on the couch, using his phone. He got styled first, and it didn't take so long, so he's relaxing. Ako ay nai-stress na dahil hindi ako sanay na may nag-aasikaso sa akin. They looked professional but I don't want any products in my face. Alam 'kong maarte ako kung papakinggan pero hindi rin ako komportable sa make up, gusto ko na agad maghilamos.

"Ate, wag po makapal ah." pagpapaalala ko sa make up artist.

Ngumiti siya sa akin. "I promise that you will comfortable in what I will do, Ma'am." she said with full of assurance and respect.

"Stop panicking, she will not eat you."

"Ikaw kaya dito!"

"I'm already done."

Hinding hindi ako mananalo sa kanya pag dating sa argument. He will always have the last shot in our argument.

I kept my mouth shut and let them do what they want in me. Kinakabahan ako kaya ganito ako. I'm becoming so comfortable with Adam that I kept shouting his name, and I will just say sorry to him later, with a kick.

It took them almost an hour to style me, and it came out good. They were really good.

Bigla akong nahiya dahil sa inakto ko kanina. I just really felt intimidated to them, pero mababait sila. I never been into this situation, not even in my senior high graduation.

Si Mama ang nag-ayos sa amin dahil mahal ang magpa-ayos sa labas. In my promenade, doon kami nagpaayos pero I looked like shit. The make-up wasn't done very well, and that's because it was cheap. I got really traumatized, and the products that were used on me gave me breakouts, and that is the reason why I got scared of them.

I don't want that to happen again just because I have no money.

My past experiences will really give me stress every time I am put in the same situation, and it happened today.

"Pasensya na po sa inakto ko, hindi ko po sinasadya." mahinang sabi ko sa kanila.

They just smiled. "It's okay. It's not hard to style you; you have great skin, and you're naturally beautiful. Your hair is healthy too, and it's easy to style it."

"Wag po kayo mambola, baka maniwala po ako." mahinang sabi ko sa kanila.

They laughed but in a good way.

Tumingin ako sa body mirror at hindi na ito decent. I looked much more decent; I looked like the daughter of a mafia boss, eme.

Hindi ka gaganyan, Liah. Anak ng mafia boss ampota, barilin kita diyan.

One thing that made me shock in this store, Celeste, is they have this room for glam. Hindi pa ako nakakita may ganito sa mga stores. Pakiramdam ko ay may exclusivity ito para sa mga afford lang na makapag-purchase sa brand. At hindi ako kasama doon.

"Are you good?" tanong sa akin ni Adam.

Tumingin ako sa kanya. He looked at me from toe to head until his eyes reached my eyes.

"Decent." he said.

I kicked the air to show him that I wanted to kick him.

I heard a laughs before I followed him outside. Nagpasalamat ulit ako sa kanila bago lumabas doon sa kwarto. He went to a part of the store where there is an elevator.

"May elevator pala dito." mahinang bulong ko sa sarili ko.

The staff thanked us, especially Adam and they bowed to him as a sign of respect. Kumaway ako sa kanila at ngumiti sila sa akin.
